details & specs

The LC9 is a double-action-only, hammer-fired, locked-breech pistol with a smooth trigger pull. Control and confident handling of the Ruger LC9 are accomplished through reduced recoil and aggressive frame checkering for a positive grip in all conditions. The Ruger LC9 features smooth "melted" edges for ease of holstering, carrying and drawing. The pistol is ruggedly constructed with a blued, through-hardened alloy steel slide and black, one-piece high-performance, glass-filled nylon grip frame. The dovetailed, high-visibility 3-dot sight system is made up of a windage-adjustable rear sight and a fixed front sight. Numerous safety features are in place including an internal lock, a manual safety, a magazine safety, and a loaded chamber indicator which provides visual and tactile indication that chamber is loaded. Includes one 7-round 9MM Luger magazine. New York & Maryland compliant.

I didn't buy my LC9 from Gander Mountain, but after reading some of the reviews posted I had to add my 2cents, for whatever its worth.

Like some others I purchased the LC9 and LCP as a his/her combo for the sole purpose of CC. I could not be more impressed with both of this sub-compacts.

Shooting:I have put over a 1000 rounds through the LC9 (150 rounds of Lawman, 100 rounds Winchester because I was desperate to shoot, and 800+ rounds of Federal – all TMJ). I HAVE NEVER HAD A JAMMED CARTRIDGE. When the weapon is in CC mode I keep it loaded with Federal Hydra Shok's.

This is not a target practice gun, but it is a heck of a lot of fun to shoot and with some practice you can group 7 in 4inch pattern at 21ft as fast as you can pull the trigger. Not a big deal, if you don't practice the weapon you carry, you should not be caring it!

The only PRO/CON (depending on how you look at it) is the long trigger pull. It does take about 100 rounds to lock in the sweet spot. Once locked in, you own it.

Carrying:The LC9 is a beautifully small weapon and when holstered in the Desantis Tuck It 2 the weapon simple disappears!

Maintenance:The LC9 is a breeze to maintain. I have purchased a small cleaning kit and have had ZERO issue field stripping and cleaning the weapon. I clean the weapon after every use.

If you purchase the LC9 for what it is intended for then there is absolutely nothing to complain about! It is a remarkable big weapon in a little package. I have been so impressed with the Ruger subcompacts that I am planning on adding the LCR 357 to my subcompact arsenal as my bedside weapon.

I bought this handgun because it was smaller than my Beretta PX4 Storm. I wanted something that was better to conceal and still had stopping power. I am somewhat happy with this gun allthough it took some 500 to 600 rounds to break in. I have discovered that this gun likes full metal jacket bulletts better than hollow points. Seems that the hollow points have trouble making it out of the clip and up the slide into the barrel without hanging. I prefer carrying the hollow points. I'm not sure if I would recomend this hand gun to a friend or not.

I bought a sr9c after getting my conceal permit, but that thing is too big and heavy to be easily carried or hidden. I then bought a lcp .380, very easy to hide, forgot you were carrying it a lot, but it had no safety and a very long trigger pull. This lc9 is right between them, its heavier and bigger than the lcp, but much more practical to carry than the sr9c. Slightly shorter trigger pull than the lcp, but a built in safety makes it a safer carry. Accuracy isn't stellar, but you wont be using this for target shooting anyway. Just a good carry gun, plain and simple.

Great carry piece. Pefect combination of concealability and stopping power. It is difficult to shoot accurately at first due to it's size, but after you get used to it, it is very accurate. Rugged and reliable. Another great product from Ruger.
